ROCHESTER - Marie T. West, 68, of Tampa Drive, Rochester, lost her battle, of over 20 years, with Parkinson's Disease on September 25, 2020 at Frisbie Memorial Hospital.

Born April 26, 1952, in Rochester, a daughter of Robert and Theresa (Duchano) Vachon, she was raised in Milton, a graduate of Nute High School. She had fond memories of growing up beside her Gregoire cousins Ronnie, Jerry, Jeanne, Susie and Clare.
